The Pace be tween Sweden and Den Mark has been ratified. --The Insurgents-of the Tyrol. as they are -insult ingly called, still continue their brave exertions, with the gallant HOFFER at their head; and we find it also stated in an article from Salt burgh, that dis turbances have broken out in Carniold.

HLttiitY WI;LIA:SLEY were Introduced, and sys'oin in Members, anu tools their seats at the Ri t ;ikt Honourable Board aecord-!. His MAJESTY al,;() held a Council to receive-the. Recorder of London's Report of the convicts capi tally convicted at the last Seisions, but one. in-the Old Bailey, when we understand his MAJESTY was graciously pleased to respite them all during his royal pleasure. - His MAJESTY cave audiences to Mr. PERCEVAL, ' and the rest of the Cabinet Ministers f7re,ent. l pis MAJESTY set off' about seven o'c;oci:, tor Windsor. • As a proof that the warm imagination of pa triotic Orators will sometimes transpot t them far be. ycnd the bounds of truth, we think it necessary to 3 , lbfrii t to onr Readers the following statement, in answer to an assertion of Mr. WAITHMAN, who, in on of his recent temperate harangues, declared that the lit - Miles of the Lords - of HERTFORD and CASTLE REAGH receive more than 90,0001. a year out of the tames laid on the public. All that Lord G. SEYMOUR really receives out of the taxes is about 12001. a year, arising from his office of Commissioner of Ex cise. The other emoluments of the respeaive fa milies alluded to, may be seen in the subjoined state ment :—The late Lord HEarro RD purchased for one of his sons, Lord HENRY SEYMOUR, the place of Prothonotary of the King's Bench in Ireland, when it was usual to sell the Law Offices in Ireland- as well as in England ; bat the emelnmeritS of this of fice arise merely from fees, and not from salary, and till very recently were not considerablt.. His Lord ship also, when Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, mad e another of his sonsW nartinger of Dublin, which em ployment is also paid by fees, Lord G. SEvmoua has also an office in St. Cro:I, of 6001. a year, aris-: trig from fees, .which crinot continue longer than the war. Thus Lord licari-Toßn's family may have ybout 70001. a year, arising from fees paid by sinters, & - c. in Ireland, and by the Danes ; and Lord CAS TLEREAGH's brother, General STUART, has a Mili tary Government in Jamaica, worth 6001, a year, paid by that island. Instead therefore of receiving ;,6. 9 .01101. out of the taxes of England, Lord c0.,-,;ty 'melt - es only 12001. for which Lord GEoat - ,:s SEYMOUR performs the laborious du ties of Commissioner of Excise, and Lord CASTLE REAGH'S family derives no advantage. His Majesty's Answer to the City Address was, we should' haie thought, calculated to give universal satisfaction, even to those who, prefessin i g public principles, are actuated by the most bitter and ran corous party spirit. Our expeEtationsi however, have been disappointed ; some of the Opposition Writers have already begun to vent their spleen upon the subject,' and to arraign, in terms not the most decent, his Majesty'S Answer. The very men who in the first instance decided upon the coAdna of the Officers employed in the Expeditions, and then proposed to address ~his MAJESTY to institute an Inquiry, now presume to find fault with the An swer, because his MAJESTY refers to the wisdom of Parliament to call for. information, or to take such measures as they may think necessary. , There can be no doubt that an' Inquiry will take, place, and decency as well as justice reqnires that the question should not be,prejudged, INDIA-Houss.-Yesterday a Court of Directors was held, when Capt..D..NIAcn.ouGALL was sworn into the command of the ship Tigris, consigned to , Madras and Bengal. _Yesterday a General Conti . e.f . Proprietors * W 35 held at the East India 'House, a dividend was declared of 5i per cent. for the ensumg„halt-year." . ...T. The Court was but thinly attended, acid no'discus skin took place relative to the general affairs of the Company, but in answer to a question of Mr. 11c:odic,' it wa4 - st4ted by the. Chairman; Mr, OkiALT . , that the affairs Of. India were at present in a,state of tranquility, and that the prosperity of the Company in that Continent was 'nut threatened by any. enemy whatever. Accounts have been received, from the outward bound 'East India ships which separated trot the last fleet at . Makira, Sarah Chrisiiana, Ludy . Lt]ughington, and Sir 1T illian Pulleney. These letters:* d:ated the 17th of August, in lat. 1. 58. The fiet was expeded to pass 'the line the neyX`day,: The voyage from Madeira had been extremely ; the weather favour able, without any calin4'7VtWeeti the tradeS ; but considerable , delay had` 'been occasioned by the heavy sailing of the Phitilnq, which had retarded her consorts above a fortnigfiL: • It was expected that they would arrive in Bengal in November. The letters containing this intelligenc e, Were sent off by a ship for the Brazils, which 'had 'sailed . with the fleet, and parted company on the 1 i:!;; • The letters came to England by a very circuitous roui, bearing the Spanish past-marks of Sr. Iti.;q4,?; . * 4'ndalusia, Baxa, and being landed at Portsmouth as letters.

Yesterday, about half past twehre o'clock, his MAJESTY arrived at the Queen's Palace, from Wind sor, where-he was 'received by the Dukes of KENT and CUMBERLAND. Soon after, the KING being informed of the arrival of his Excellency the Persian AtntraSsador, his MA JESTY, signified his royal pleasure to receive his Ex cellency, when he was conducted by Mr. CHESTER, the Deputy Master of the Ceremonies, and introduced by the Marquis of WELLEsLCY, 33 Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. His Excellency, after the usual ceremonies, delivered his credentials to his MA . - jkarv, and he was most graciously received. After his introduction he remained in conversation with the Marquis of WELLizs LEV, who, together with Mr. CpasTatt, Sir GORE PUSLEY, and' Mr.. MORIER, 014E10 his . gliCellency to his Majesty's carriage, about'"quarter before three o' c lock, and his siN.cel ilncy returnedto his house, where the crowd was The Tidelle F rigate, which . the French began \ b u ilding at Flushing, and whic,n into' our. 'lauds when the Island was talcen, h' k t . rivea at NarnaocA, so extremely great, that it was impossible for his Majesty's footmen to g et from the carriage, to open the carriage door, and knock at the house door; and GOTTENEURGET, DEC. 11.—A. Letter has -been had it nut been for the vigilance of the B o w-street patrole, it would have been impossible to clear the received here to-day from Jonkeping, giving inforrna door way. The populace gave his Excellency three tion of the final conclusion of the peace between cheers again, upon his leaving the carriage.

They then proceeded to the Palace in the following. : e the night with dispatches for Count ROSIN, the,Go .. order :7-/ vernor of Gottenburgh, the contents of which are said to be the Treaty of Peace between this Coun try and France, and that the terms are nearly the same as those entered into by the Peace with Russia, namely that Sweden reserve herself the privilege of the importation of colonial produce.' It is said that little mention is made of En : gland in this Treaty. It is generally believed here that a French Commissary and a French Consul will shortly take upon them the functions of their respeCtive offices. The Consul is already appointed, and is at this moment at Copen hagen, on his way hither. The Course of Exchange at ninety days, rose to day to 4 f. 38 c. STOCKHOLM, DEC. s.—The King has had a se cond apoplectic fit, and continues in a very danger ous state. We heat that the Prince AUOUSTEIN , - BURG has declined his intended journey to Sweden, and it is said lie has also declined the accession to the Throne, in consequence of the very limited power vested in the Crown. GOTTENIWRGH, DEC. 9.—1 have just learnt that the late King (Gustavus IV. is now on his way from Gripsholm to Carlscrona, from which place he will proceed to the continent, and it is said that Baden is the place pointed cut for him to take up his resi dence. ociartorear, DEC. 7.—Hi s Royal Majesty is re covering fast from the fit of illness with which he was seized on the 24th of last month, and has al ready regained so much strength, that he yesterday pised the greater,part of the day out of bed.

It is likewise reported that Silistria is taken. , CONSTANTINOPLE, OCT. 202:7-We have received here the unpleasant intelligence that the Russians, since the conquest of Ismail, have assembled in great force in the. neighbourhood of Silistrie. It is titne for the Grand Vizier co skew himself alive before the whiter sets in, fer the Asiati,c creeps, which compose nearly half of his army, will not remain with him loneer than about the end of this month, but then returc home for at least six moettes. We have great plenty of provisions here, which arrive here in abun dance from Egypt and the other provinces on the Mediterrancau Sea. This plenty is the principal cause of the tranquility which reigns here.
